Mike Woodson and His Coaching Staff

[ap2345 10,428]

Mike Roberts was at the team meeting today as well. So I’d imagine he will be back in some capacity.

corned beef on rye.. with a celery soda and giant piece of poppy seed white icing cake...

Celery soda doesn't even sound good

There is a rumor that a man named Dane Fife called a builder in Bloomington within the last day or so about houses. 

Billy Donovan also?

Nope, he’s still living in Chicago for a while because he still can’t find a suitable horse farm.

Good source tells me Larry Brown loves Shaprio's Deli specifically the pastrami on rye.

But he can’t have it because it’s too much salt intake.  Doctor says.

I've seen people say this but not a single person has given an explanation.

Is there a role he could fill without using one of the 3 assistant slots? Sort of like Elston's role a few years ago?

It's possible. Rabby has stated he could stay on in a player development role and he could stay on as assistant #3 if other candidates don't work out. I would assume he's still going to be doing something or else he would've likely moved on already.

Gotcha. My guess is the staff fill outs with one of Fife/Lewis and then possibly the guy from Texas. Would like for Roberts to stick around, but not just because he was here before.

I have a gut feeling that Hunter and Roberts may have had their hands tied a bit on what they were able to do under Archie so I'll let Woody, Matta, and Dolson make those decisions since they have a better grasp on guys coaching abilities.

That is a fair way to look at it, I will follow your thinking on this too. Good call.

I need a hire today to get me through the day. The Hunter news was nice, but that's just a teaser. We need the whole cupcake not a mini-cookie.

I’d throw a butt load of money at Fife and Lewis and have them take over when Woody is done.

It looks like Fife makes about $340,000 a year at Michigan State.

I think we could give him a $110,000 raise.

Rabby said that IU is willing to pay for assistants and support staff more now than they ever have so I could see them throwing some raises at Fife and Lewis to see if they can draw them back along with other candidates.

I hope Fife comes on board. I was just thinking, if he does our coaching staff will have quite a bit of BIG coaching experience. 

Hunter: 6 seasons as assistant in the BIG (Nebraska and Indiana)

Fife: 13 seasons as an assistant in the BIG (MSU and Indiana)

Matta: 13 seasons as head coach in the BIG (OSU)

Roberts: 2 seasons as assistant in the BIG (Indiana)

If that happens and we don't start winning in the BIG again, we never will.

This will be the final tale of Indiana Basketball if this all fails, again.

Unless.. of course. A certain head coach comes back home to his home state.. then..

Love it. 110,000 is pretty specific.  Any idea how much we might be willing to spend for Lewis?
